Chris Gonsalves is a travel enthusiast, but none of his trips could have prepared him for the safari sighting he filmed during his recent trip to Chobe National Park.
Chobe is famous for its lion sightings, and Chris happened to be visiting an area with the rumored super pride: the Serondela Lion Pride. With so many mouths to feed, these lions are known to target large game!
Some of the pride members had been spotted on the road earlier in the day, so the ranger decided to head in that direction. Little did anyone realize what sighting they were heading towards…
Searching for lions is always exciting, and it didn’t take long to find them. What no one expected to see was what they found with the lions. Everything about the sighting could have been typical, it was a few lions relaxing in the shade, and some cubs playing with a log. What was not typical was the giraffe standing right in the middle of them!
The giraffe had clearly been chased to the point of exhaustion, as it was just inches away from the closest lions, and frozen to the spot. The lionesses, who had done all the chasing, were tired too, and knowing the giraffe wasn’t going anywhere in a hurry, they decided to rest right next to it.
Peace didn’t last long, and it was back to action as soon as the lions had caught their breath! One of the lionesses snuck behind the giraffe while it was distracted and launched herself onto its rump. Panic set in immediately, and with its last bit of energy, the giraffe flung the lioness off and made a dash for it.
Lions are coordinated, and as soon as one was flung off, the others were right on the giraffe’s tail. Before the giraffe could even run a few meters, another lion jumped on its back, this time going for the neck! The lion didn’t get a strong enough grip, and with a flick of its neck, the giraffe shook it off.
The giraffe was desperate at this point. It tried kicking to get the pride away, but its feet were shaky, and it was trembling. The same lioness that targeted its neck managed to climb the giraffe again, this time getting a decent grip. So it came as a surprise when the giraffe managed to buckle her off again! But that took the very last that it had!
The giraffe’s legs were crumbling, and it couldn’t help itself from collapsing to the ground. It had sadly reached the end of the road, and the lions wasted no time finishing the job.

Absolutely amazing! Nature is truly magical 🌿🐾
Keep up the amazing work, you nailed it 💕
Who
Que horrible es la vida salvaje . Odio a los animales carnívoros que porquería.
How did one bite to the neck take it down. The lioness barely did anything
People: "Isn't nature beautiful!"
This channel:
Let rear leg gave out causing the giraffe to lose its balance
Wildlife is beautiful but also heartbreaking at times.
병들거나 다친 기린인거 같네..
"The giraffe is tired, but the lions want the finish — survival in its rawest form.
looks like these wildlife parks are so tiny that the giraffe has no space then to stand with the lions
Don't just let it die beep the horn to scare the Lions away please next time
❤❤❤❤❤
Really amazing
Two things likely happened; front leg gave out from being injured and the lions incapacitated it by clawing and gnawing at the giraffe’s spine
That looks like an adolescent or smaller giraffe. Not sure why it didn’t try to leave or run away to begin with. 1:00 the legs seem so fragile and they have a balance problem, so she became an easy prey. These lions can sense weakness.
People don’t realize that giraffe is a dangerous game for lions. Giraffes have very powerful kicks and have been observed breaking the jaws of lions, which is usually a fatal injury
0:58 Unfortunately the giraffe tripped on something and fell.
she probably tripped over something a lion can't knock over a giraffe
الاسد عنده طاقة تحمل فضيعة😂😂
Sad 😢😢
뚜방뚜방
Something tiger cannot do. Take down a giraffe
A girafa já estava nas últimas, ela se rendeu fácil se oferecendo para os leões se fartarem
Hi gee
Yes❤❤❤❤❤
Why is to short f@ck.
i think the bite in the neck did cause a short breakdown in the nervous system
What a stupid giraff, it just falls down, when it was winning
Actually it's lioness 😅
Bro lost his balance at the worst possible time!
That was surprisingly easy.
南無阿彌陀佛
Gravity feeds the lion herd.
Wow
It makes me sad to see this. I know it’s nature, but to see a beautiful animal like that being ended is awful.😞
Looks like Alex got mad at Melman
That giraffe was Is purposely taken to that prides den either with the promise of food or on drugs. A giraffe that size would never knowingly walk into that situation unless it was drugged and pushed.
This is amazing
The giraffe's back right leg broke or dislocated when the lion jumped on it.
What knocked him out?
Natural selection. If you don't have enough sense to know not to chill around a huge swarm of lions….
Interesting delayed reaction. Almost like a boxer who gets KO'd but the punch came a few seconds earlier before he went down later.

RUN AWAY, DAMN! She just stood around and well…po' thang.
يا الله طيحت اللبوة زرافة بكل طولها الاسود عجيبة
Poor guy
